I think it was my wise words to 'warmachine' about not losing focus that saw him through.

Honest

What about Larry vs Tyson ?

and i'm not talking about a Larry Holmes - Mike Tyson II

They definately won't meet, but it would be a great scrap if they did

[Coco]

He is still a novice with limited amateur experience, he is being matched sensibly and has done really well so far while learning his trade. I think he shouldn't be stepped up much for a couple of years so he can develop further, and hopefully by then he can be thrown into the domestic title mix

[forcefraser]

Great finish from Larry, 3 punch combo and the final shot was a cracker.

Opponent was not all that in fairness, but you can only beat what was put in front of you. Well done to the big man.

I have been surprised how quick he has developed and i think he looks better prospect than Chisora

Told you!

Now here's a guy who looks to have real genuine power. ITV can go on all they want about Fury but people Larry is knocking them over VERY quickly, a good sign of true power. Need to see him in there with someone more mobile though but I say he's a decent prospect, as good as any of the others in the bunch.

[The Law]

Excellent performance. He has still got a lot to learn though (he openly admits to that). I would like to see him snap the jab a bit more, have more head movement, faster combos and a tighter defence. I would also like him to improve his stamina by doing more roadwork and cardio, given that he was breathing quiet heavily in his previous fight against Mihai Iftode.

The best thing about him is that he comes across as a genuinely nice guy and isn't big headed, he takes on board everything his trainers says. A great start to his career. Onwards and upwards!

[Go Faster Stripes]

Great punching power/accuracy from Larry last night, well done War Machine!!

There are some decent match ups to be made it heavyweight in the next 18 months or so, hopefully it wont be too long before some of them are made.

Unbeaten Heavyweight Prospect Larry Olubamiwo Scores Chilling 1st Round KO Over Michal Skierniewski

by James Slater - Tyson Fury is not the only UK heavyweight currently making waves as an exciting prospect. Last night, on the under-card of the Ian Nappa-Malik Bouziane European bantamweight title fight (which defending champ Nappa lost on points), 30-year-old man-mountain Larry Olubamiwo made it 4-0(4) as he scored a brutal KO. Destroying 31-year-old Pole Michal Skierniewski mere seconds into the opening round, "The War Machine" looked devastating - limited opponent or not..

And while promoter Mick Hennessey's guy Fury has time on his side at age 20, and Frank Maloney's hope doesn't at a decade older, it just might be that the two huge men become involved in something of a rivalry in the near future. Fury, as we know, is much influenced by the former heavyweight king he was named after, while Olubamiwo is a fighter Maloney says just might be another Earnie Shavers, so hard does he bang. Certainly, Fury, as good as he's looked this early, has yet to completely spark out a foe the way the 30-year-old with the immaculate physique did last night.

No sooner had big Larry (think of the huge coloured guy who played opposite Tom Hanks in "The Green Mile" and you will get an idea of how Olubamiwo looks) landed his fight-ending right hand to the head, was his opponent laid out in a quivering heap. Quickly piling into the ring with the oxygen masks, the ringside physicians attended to the stricken Pole who fell to 3-4-1(1) as a pro. Thankfully, Michal was up and ok after a few scary seconds.

30-year-old Londoner Olubamiwo, who tips in at a solid 260-pounds and stands at 6'4," will be looking to make his move pretty fast. Only having eleven fights as an amateur, the surprisingly fast heavyweight is still raw, yet he says he is working "massively" on his technique and on his stamina. Speaking post-fight last night, the articulate fighter said he will not be allowed by his trainers to attempt to get through fights on his sheer power alone - power that he says is "God-given."

So far, Larry has boxed four fights in just over five months, and it's to be hoped he will be back in action no later than April or May. As with Fury, it is nothing but optimistic at this stage to suggest Olubamiwo will develop into a champion - either at British level or higher - but it sure will be fun following whatever progress is made. Promising-looking heavyweights are always thrust into the public eye quicker than lower-weight up-and-comers - such is the attraction of the big men of boxing.

It seems Great Britain now has at least two such fighters to keep an eye on.


Picked this up on another site.

Keep up the hard work in the gym and keep learning Larry and I am sure there will be many more stunning wins like last night!

[whiteboy]
